I thought I was so helpful when giving someone the Panorama Police Department nonemergency phone only to find out that (936)856-7777 is the emergency number while (936)890-4637 and (936)890-4638 are the nonemergency numbers.

911 can always be used as an emergency number. You may want to put these numbers in your phone for emergency and nonemergency numbers. More words of wisdom I received at City Hall…..Non-members of the Panorama Golf Club who own golf carts that are operated on public streets in the City must be registered with the City Secretary and pay a one-time fee of $25.

At that time they will be issued a permit decal which must be placed on the driver's side of the golf cart and be visual at all times. There is an annual fee of $2 for the renewal decal. Members of the Panorama Golf Club are issued their decals from the ProShop.

The wording for who can drive a golf cart is "The operator or someone in the golf cart with the operator has a valid state driver's license'. Chief Scarborough asked that I include that all cart operators MUST comply with all "Rules of the Road" as provided Chapter 541 of the Texas Transportation Code and with City Ordinances.

This includes stopping at all stop signs. Also be careful when entering or crossing a street. Remember that cart operators can be warned and fined by the Police.
